Palestinians do not trust Israeli evacuation orders any more: report

People do not trust Israeli notices about evacuation zones and moving to other safe areas across the Gaza Strip, reports Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud.

There’s no safe place across Gaza, says Mahmoud. What’s going on right now in Khan Younis is nothing short of enforced displacement, it’s been going on for months.

The Israeli military is talking about sending people to safety or giving evacuation orders so people are protected, but this is not accurate on the ground. In fact, it has been misleading, contradictory and vague for the most part, the report adds.

We have cases where people move to these evacuation zones or safe areas as the Israeli military ordered them, and within hours of their arrival, they’ve been killed inside the area they were told to move to, Mahmoud states.

People are now hesitant, they end up in the streets because they don’t want to move inside residential buildings that are going to be bombed, he adds.
